As of tomorrow, December 17 I’ll be 2 weeks post op.

I had top surgery with Dr. Schechter here in Chicago.

To be honest, I’ve been on a roller coaster since then.

December 3rd was the big day, and the surgery itself took around 6 hours. I was a pretty big chested guy to begin with so I wasn’t very concerned about that. I had a really bad reaction to the anesthesia tho. I woke up and I was really cold. I threw up 3 times before I left the hospital and twice more after I got home.

3 days after surgery I returned to the ER with a terrible headache that was a combination of the Norco and me sleeping sitting up. It was the worst headache I’ve ever had in my life.

5 days after surgery I went into his office to get checked out, got a first look at my chest - did not see him at all, saw his assistant and the nurse

7 days after surgery I went back into his office to get the drains removed - did not see him at all, saw his nurse

11 days after surgery, a scab fell off right under my right armpit and it wouldn’t stop bleeding, so I went back to the ER to make sure that I didn’t need stitches. All was well and I went home.

13 days after surgery, I went in to see Dr. Schecter because I had concerns with the nipple grafts. He was able to “squeeze” me into his day, saw him for approx 5 min.

Overall, unimpressed by his manners tbh, just happy to be healing up and be done with this.

feel free to drop any questions! I know there isn’t a lot about him out there.

Israel’s New Plan for Dealing With Jewish Terrorists Is All Wrong

When there’s so much hatred in the air, terrorism – whether it be Jewish or Palestinian – will always prevail.

Eradicating Jewish terror seems to be all the rage these days.

Israeli leaders on both the left and right have vowed to fight Jewish terrorism following last week’s two horrific attacks: The stabbing of six…
